What We're Reading

"On Vegetables: Modern Recipes for the Home Kitchen"

A highly regarded Cali chef, vegetable whisperer Jeremy Fox has written a cookbook that delivers 85 vegetarian recipes, both sweet and savory, plus an additional foundation of 75 larder recipes. His combinations may surprise, such as the dish of figs, celery, almonds, and pickled grapes. You may want to wait for fall to make carrot juice cavatelli, tops salsa, & spiced pulp crumble. Just in time for the onset of sultry summer evenings and the peak of the local tomato season, Fox offers a “tomato raw bar.” Published by Phaidon.
